Ein kleines Haus
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  DUT
Ein kleines Haus, von Nussgesträuch umgrenzt,
Wo durch das Fensterchen die Morgensonne glänzt
Und mich vom Schlaf das Lied der Lerche weckt;
Ein kleiner Tisch, den mir die Liebe deckt;
Ein kleines Feld, das keinen Zehnten gibt;
Ein alter treuer Nachbar, der mich liebt;
Ein reiner Himmel, ein unverdorbnes Blut,
Und zu der Arbeit froher Mut;
Das schöne Glück, Freund, neidest du es mir?
Hätt’ ich‘s nur erst, hätt’ ich’s nur erst!
Ich teilt´ es, ich teilt´ es gern mit dir!
